Know your case is right

Nov 28, 2007 - By live and learn (New England)

I bought this cable thinking it could go in any computer case because I could plug the angled end into the motherboard or into the drive. Wrong! This cable is not compatible with my rather new Dell Inspiron 530. The angled end would not fit into the only available port on my motherboard. And because hard drives are screwed into the case upside down, when the angled end of the cable is connected to the drive, the case does not close. I found out that I really needed a LEFT angle SATA data cable - which is fairly uncommon. Staples, or at least the one near me, does not carry SATA data cables at all. So, I had to travel about 25 miles to a large computer store to buy a straight cable. The store also had left angle SATA cables but I decided to play it safe. The moral is be very careful about buying angled SATA data cables and make sure it will work with your case with the available ports. Can't comment on the quality of the cable because I can't use it.

The bestest SATA cable I have every seen

Sep 13, 2008 - By David Friedel (Providence, RI)

This cable was so wonderful. It plugged right in, and my hard drive worked! It's an amazing red color! It's incredibly 18 inches long! It's made of plastic! I just can't believe how well it worked.

Know your case!

The 90 degree bend in one end of this cable made connection so much easier. I put the bend end on the hard drive, which allowed the cable to drop straight down. Right behind the drive, I have a huge CPU cooling fan. Super convenient connection for a tight space.

Great Cables, Great Price!

These are solid SATA cables if you need to expand the interior of your PC with new drives. I've got SATA channel 3 and 4 dedicated you my SATA DVD Superwrites and the cables fit snug and the red exterior is of solid construction as well. Get em if you need em!
